The Honourable Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun, is intensifying efforts to secure Nigeria’s food supply chain through targeted reforms in seed certification.
During a courtesy visit to the Honourable Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, Senator Abubakar Kiyari, Mr. Edun alongside his Ministerial counterpart underscored the central role of agriculture in the government’s economic strategy. Discussions focused on expanding access to certified seeds, introducing a decentralised certification system with rigorous quality standards, and accelerating preparations for the upcoming dry season farming programme.
These reforms are expected to improve seed quality and availability, while reinforcing the link between agricultural productivity, reduced food inflation, greater private investment, and sustainable economic growth for Nigeria.
